Motorhome & Campervan Hire in Bologna

Bologna’s timeless beauty welcomes visitors year-round, with spring (April-June) and late summer (September-October) offering optimal conditions to hire a campervan in Bologna. During these seasons, you can enjoy the city without the inconvenience of muggy heat or tourist crowds. Explore the legendary Colli Bolognesi on a bicycle tour, perhaps combined with a delightful food and wine experience, creating unforgettable memories.

Cultural richness persists in Bologna throughout the year. June hosts Biografilm, an international film festival dedicated to biopics. Embrace open-air evenings and diverse films at Sotto le Stelle del Cinema, a summer event in Piazza Maggiore featuring film screenings and interviews with industry protagonists. As autumn sets in, the roBOt Festival (October) and the Bologna Jazz Festival (November) infuse the city with diverse musical rhythms, catering to all tastes.

You’ll need to fill up the freshwater tank of your campervan rental at the beginning of your trip, and empty your grey water at the end. This can be done at your campsite if they offer these services or at certain petrol stations. Near our station you can also find this address to fill up the freshwater tank:

• Via Funo, 22, 40050 Funo BO

If you plan to explore the city before embarking on your road trip from Bologna, navigating parking in the city can be a challenge. Similar to many medieval Italian cities, the entire historic centre is a ZTL, restricting transit without a special permit. To assist you, we’ve compiled a list of parking options just outside the city centre, perfect for leaving your motorhome or campervan rental for a few hours while you explore on foot:

• Parcheggio Tanari at 17 Luigi Tanari Street: A few minutes from the city centre, this parking is free when used with a bus ticket. Display your bus ticket to the staff to avoid parking fees (max. 24 hours).
• Parcheggio Staveco at Viale Enrico Panzacchi 10: Paid parking but very convenient for a quick walk to the city centre. Note that parking is not guaranteed on busy days and weekends.
• Parcheggio Antistadio at Via Andrea Costa: This parking is free with a public transportation pass but is farther from the centre (3 km on foot or 15 minutes with bus lines 14 or 21).
